Review:Her method of going back and forth in generations is interesting but sometimes confusing if you have read past your tired point - something most Kindle users do. I love the way she writes and look forward to many more books by her. Read more

Review:I should start by admitting that this series is one of my guilty pleasures, so I was particularly sad to discover this latest installment lacked the charm I usually find. The plot seemed contrived solely to advance the political and social issues Ms. Brown wanted to explore. I don't object to the sentiments she expressed, as a matter of fact her politics and mine are closely aligned, however there was an atypical clumsiness to the way her themes were interwoven into the story line, and it felt a...

Review:In Chapter 22 of the book, Cooper says, "Well, no one want to know what a sheriff's deputy thinks about the world's confusion." The same should be said for mystery writers.

In her later books, and especially in this one, Ms. Brown has her characters pontificating on the law and government way too much of the time. It's time to get back to emphasis on the good old-fashioned mystery aspects. Read more

Review:Fountain may have had good intentions when thinking up “Billy Lynn” (critiquing capitalism, sexism, war, etc. is a worthwhile pursuit) but the execution was, at best, extremely poor. At worst, it is a harmful piece of literature disguised as satire.

Let’s start with his treatment of women, shall we? Every mention of a woman, no matter the context, is sexualized to the extreme. Yes, you could read it as satire; Fountain is simply pointing out the objectification that women face. But making... Read more

Review:Crusie has spun an interesting web of love, lies and chocolate. It was so good I told my husband what was happening as I was reading. It got to the point of him asking me what it happened in the book while he was at work.
The only annonying factor was the phrase, "oh, hell." It really got on my nerves. Treva and Maddie both used it entirely too often. Either Crusie meant couldn't think of another phrase or I missed the underlying point completely. Either way, the book is a page turner... Read more

Review:Just as fairytales have darkness in their midst, often novels with whimsical titles have a wee bit as well. Such is the case with Lauren Weisberger’s book WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LULULEMONS. That’s not to say that it isn’t a riot, because it is. in Greenwich, three women come together, each with different backgrounds, each strong in their own right. Each struggling with something. One, something major.

Karolina, a former model, married to a senator, soon to announce his run for president. Arr... Read more

Review:Whether you've followed "Hey Ladies" and Caroline and Michelle from the early days at The Toast or you are just now joining, you are ahead for so many laughs. They've captured the conversation and make you feel like you are a fly on the wall sneaking a peak at the computer screen. So happy it's now a book. It's definitely one worthy of it's own email thread! Read more

Review:Great read. I don't think anything this man writes could be boring. He just knows how to tell a good story. I highly recommend it, as well as his other novel "Racing in the Rain." That one I couldn't put down - read it in 3 days and my husband read it in 2 days. Read more

Review:This was the first Alexander McCall Smith book that we have read and we were entranced by how well this gentleman weaves a story. We will look forward to reading more of his books and learning more about Bostwana and Africa. Read more
